The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has insinuated
that Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos and the All
Progressives Congress (APC) Kaduna state
governorship candidate, Malam Nasir El-Rufai are
campaigning for President Goodluck Jonathan ahead of
the presidential election slated for 14 February.

In a statement issued by Olisa Metuh, National
Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) he said they were campaigning against General
Muhammadu Buhari because they were both recorded
to have urged voters to elect a younger president.

The statement said it recalled that El-Rufai, a former
APC Interim Deputy National Secretary and a Buhari
supporter, Malam Nasir El-Rufai, had described him
as: “perpetually unelectable”.

El-Rufai, it recalled, said he was 25 years old when
Buhari was Head of State and wondered why he would
not allow younger generation as symbolised in
President Goodluck Jonathan, to have a shot at the
position.

“El-Rufai had also called on young Nigerians to take
their future into their hands and ensure that they voted
for a new generation of leaders,” Metuh said in a
statement.

Similarly, he also stated that Fashola has urged voters
to do same. “Lagos State Gov. Babatunde Fashola has
not hidden his preference for a younger, more educated
and articulate President who is able to connect with the
current generation of citizens as embodied in President
Goodluck Jonathan.”

It recalled that Fashola had earlier said that: “If you
put an old man there, he cannot do it. If you call him in
the night, he may not pick your calls.”

The statement wondered “who better fits into this
picture than Buhari who could not remember the name
of his running mate at his campaign rally in Owerri.”
It added that Buhari also nearly fell while trying to
climb the stage in Calabar during the ACP rally in
Cross River.

“In spite of his later attempt to remedy the situation,
deep inside his heart, Fashola harbours an aversion to a
Buhari presidency as evidenced in his earlier
statements,” the statement said.

It quoted Fashola as having said that: “When 40-year
olds are now leading nations and our 40-year olds can’t
even get to the Senate, they can’t even become
governors.

“We cannot point to success in other countries and
refuse to do what those people are doing to get things
right.”

This, it said, like many Nigerians put it, was a coded
way of saying Buhari was too old to be the President of
the Nigeria.

The statement added that the PDP was however, not
surprised at the double standard being displayed by
APC leaders, describing such as “one of their stocks-
in-trade”.
